TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Chalton
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with photos of the canopy and filters, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Chalton, typically within one working day. The work covers vertical risers, extract fans and plenums and filters, and the jobs we see most are a system with no record of a TR19 clean and grease smells coming from the extract. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
In a small place like Chalton, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Why deal with it now?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. A fault that closes a site in a village like Chalton affects everyone who depends on it.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will explain what it covers.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Chalton
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Chalton
Chalton is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Chalton are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Uppark is about 3.2 miles east), access may need planning. Where a hall near Church of St Michael, or anywhere in Chalton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Chalton is about 3 miles north-east of Horndean, in Hampshire. Chalton gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. We cover 683 places across Hampshire, from busy centres to quieter spots. You can also see our page for Portsmouth, about 10 miles away.

Landmarks near Chalton
Around Chalton, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Ditcham Park and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Rowlands Castle station, roughly 3.1 miles south.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Wash or exchange the filters often
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- An undersized canopy or fan
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work

FAQs for Chalton
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Chalton?
That is East Hampshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Chalton. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you come to Chalton after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Chalton can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Chalton?
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital about 4.7 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Visits to a village like Chalton are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
